All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.
Rules (Will be refined later on).
-
Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.
-
No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here. -
All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.
-
Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.
-
Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.

Ah, fuck yeah ~~I missed the period...~~
Well, my only excuse is that I didn't got much sleep in the last... 2 months
Edit: after that fuck up being be so sleep deprived, I'm not confident enough to point out my mistake anymore
Get some rest, friend
Yeah, I'm trying.
But I'm fighting for the life of my cat and I'm cooking food for him every 2 hours - since 2 months.
Me and and my wife are already completely devastated, because we also need to somehow work...
So getting some real sleep wasn't an option for quite some time.
At the moment he is doing better, and I'm trying to get the portions a bit bigger and the times between feeding larger. But it will probably be a process.
And as this has taken an enormous emotional toll on us, I've stepped up my liquor intake. Which doesn't help with good sleep as well.
At least he is currently fine...
That was what we were aiming for. And how I am didn't matter much - until now I got some some more serious problems as well, because of not sleeping and all the stress.
Sorry for just venting... I'm just finished...
I hope your cat gets better. Having sick pets is incredibly emotionally draining. Can't you just cook a bunch of food (I'm guessing the special meals are to encourage him to eat) and then save and microwave it for him?
